Subject: Returning a class.

Hello,

Is it possible to generate a class at run-time and return it?

I've been working on a Polynomial class.  But you can define polynomials 
over any ring, not just the reals.  So I had this idea:

Create a CommRing class (commutative ring).  You inherit from that class 
and create a ring.

class R < CommRing
   # definning @zero, @id, @minus_id, + and *
end

You automatically get the class method R.poly which corresponds to the 
polynomial ring over R.

How would I do this?

Thanks.
